- Go to Traffic In The Valley Is Getting So Congested!
It does seem that everywhere is being crammed with cars, something will have to be done or It will be impossible to travel anywhere unless it is upwards. Your journey sounds really rough .Now if one had a tank.🌺

I am so thankful that I am too old to drive anymore and thankful that I have a son that lives close and is so ready to do any driving to meet my needs without making me feel like I am a drag on his independent living..

Good Evening
Sam444, I think you have every right to have a rant. What you described sounds like I-90 here. That is a road I have vowed never to go down again. The traffic during rush hour is going about 80 miles per hour, with some cars flying by everybody. It's too much for me. I'm glad you made it home safe. I hope you have a good night.

In the county I work, they build houses without the infrastructure of schools and businesses. That means the big towns are really getting flooded.

Your description of the traffic makes me feel better about being retired and not having to navigate it on a daily basis.Â

Wow! Your highway scene takes me back to driving on I-5 in California when we lived there. The congestion was unbelievable. Pittsburgh isn't quite as crazy, but at rush hour, it can take a while to get down the highway a few miles.Â
